What a good evening!

I went with “the girls” to the String Theory Concert at the Hunter Museum of American Art. This is a terrific series originated by Gloria Chien of Lee University in Cleveland, TN. Chien is an inspired pianist in her own right, and has, with this series, brought some of the country’s most talented musicians to play in this glorious, intimate setting. What could be better than listening to sublime music sitting in the foyer of the Hunter Museum overlooking the Tennessee River in the center of downtown Chattanooga.

And even more terrific tonight was the featured group, the St. Lawrence String Quartet. About all I can say about this foursome is “WOW!” Listen to them on their web site, or get some of their music through whatever system you prefer. Check out their schedule to see if they’re going to be in your neighborhood for a concert. They'll be performing at the Spoleto Festival in Charleston in June, for instance. You’ll love hearing them.

To cap off the night, we went out to eat at the Italian place across the street from the museum. And the Lady Vols won over South Carolina by 22 points.
